I received the following response from Thomas Goodhue of Long Island Multi-Faith Forum/LI Council of Churches -- a NAIN member organization. He was unable to navigate the posting format so I offered to post his response for him as follows

My development director, a 66-year-old Jewish woman, was detained and questioned for hours because she was carrying an old back cushion and was reading the Pew report, 'Muslims in America." The first question they asked, and I'm not makiing this up, was "Do you know where Osama bin Laden in hiding?"
